I have a ctrl and shift key missing and wires hanging out of my lappy 
where the power socket used to be so I reckon the little fellow stays 
off computers until he gets a job and buys his own. Internet filtering 
issues solved :-)

It might be an insightful comment though.

The "Australian Sex Party" is a catchy name but they risk polarising the 
debate further which I think plays into the hands of the extreme 
Christian right. EFA/nocleanfeed are not getting their message out 
beyond the "blogosphere" much. I think any approach to mainstream 
Australia has to target its message to families. I am pretty sure it is 
the next generation that stands to lose the most. Its the sort of thing 
you would expect an opposition party to be good at but I guess the major 
parties are being held to ransom.

Anyway back to Sydney - hub of the conference world - perhaps EFA 
signups, nocleanfeed donations, overseas speakers with cred issuing 
press releases - whatever... but street protests would likely be a 
complete waste I agree.
